About NGO Registration

NGO registration in India allows non-profit organizations to operate legally. There are three main structures: Trust, Society, and Section 8 Company. Each offers benefits like tax exemption and limited liability.

In India, NGOs can register under three main legal structures:

  • Trust (Registered under the Indian Trusts Act, 1882)
  • Society (Registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860)
  • Section 8 Company (Registered under the Companies Act, 2013)

Eligibility for NGO registration in India, broken down into points:

  • Competency to Contract: You (or the founding members) must be able to enter into legal agreements. This applies to individuals, associations, institutions, or even a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) through its managing member (Karta).
  • Charitable Purpose: The NGO’s objectives must be charitable or for social welfare. This can include areas like education, healthcare, environmental protection, or promoting human rights.
  • Minimum Members:
    • Society: Minimum of two members.
    • Trust: Minimum of two trustees.
    • Section 8 Company: Minimum of two directors, with at least one resident of India.
  • No Criminal Record: Ideally, founding members should have a clean criminal record to maintain the NGO’s credibility.

Documents Required

It is very easy to register this type of business as very few documents are needed. The required documents include:

  • Your PAN card (Copy)
  • Adhaar card (Copy)
  • Passport size photo
  • Proof of Address(Power bill, Municipal tax bill, Sale deed copy)
  • Memorandum of Association
  • Declaration by President
  • Minutes of meeting (formation decision)
  • Requesting Letter (purpose)

Registration Duration

The registration timeframe for NGOs in India varies depending on the chosen structure (Trust, Society, Section 8 Company). It typically takes anywhere between 8-14 working days for the fastest option (Section 8 Company) to 20-25 working days for Trusts and Societies.
